Someone said, "as you age your brain needs challenges greater than just those of aging to keep it healthy". So I took up serious chess in February of 2013 at the age of 74. My previous historical chess experience resembled checkers. I enjoy the international encounters and Tournaments with Chess.com players. In July '14 I got my first 31 LeaderBoard Points and in September '14 a first place trophy to brag about. I volunteer at the local hospital as an Eucharistic Minister on Wednesdays and I sit a Hospitlality Desk on Fridays. My wife and I have been married since 1961 and do the gardening and two gym session a week to stay fit. Enough said, play on, good luck! Thanks for reading my Profile. Herbert
